NEW YORK (AFP) - New York City's chief accountant called for a probe into alleged violence against union officials and employees at a Coca-Cola plant in Colombia.

"The New York City pension funds are concerned about the allegations of alleged human rights abuses at Coca-Cola's Colombian affiliate," city Comptroller William Thompson said in asking for a shareholder resolution on the matter.

The resolution filed on behalf of the five funds asks that Coca-Cola sponsor an independent delegation of inquiry to Colombia to examine the charges of collusion in anti-union violence made against managers and officials of Coca-Colas bottling affiliate, Coca-Cola FEMSA, and that the delegation include representatives from US and Colombian human rights organizations.

The filthy truth...

P-CRAC is a shadowy organization made up exclusively of Pie-Cards. However, we prefer the much more accurate term "Liberated Parasites."
We are building a workers' movement while the rest of the anarcho-purists sit around and stroke their ideologies.
Hello? The 1800's are over dumbasses. Welcome to the real world where practical people use practical methods to achieve the impossible.
